Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Aberdeen FC is hosting Rangers FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Connor Goldson, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 12' Fashion Sakala does the damage! The net is bulging and Rangers FC surge ahead!
  • 17' James Tavernier needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 39 Yellow cards this season.
  • 21' Controversy at the stadium! Ylber Ramadani argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 24' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Liam Scales.
  • 25' Liam Scales picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 35' Connor Barron catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 35.

  • 42' James Sands catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 42.
  • 43' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for James Sands.
  • 45' Magnificent from Duk! That is 19 goals in 362 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ross McCrorie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' Against the run of play, Leighton Clarkson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 58' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Fashion Sakala is replaced by Scott Wright.

  • 71' John Lundstram catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
  • 76' Adam Devine has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 81' A tactical swap from Aberdeen FC — Jack MacKenzie on, Hayden Coulson off on 81 minutes.
  • 86' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Scott Arfield.
  • The final score is 2-3.
